+==== GEEK UPDATE: A productive flight ====

 
 

-**UPDATE**: On the flight back to Europe, I spent some time to add lots of new goodies to [[GeekiGeeki]],
-including a nice grid view for photos, the possibility to specify css style for links and inline objects,
-and automatic generation of human-readable link tags from wiki URLs, which should make the wiki markup
-much cleaner.  As usual, these additions resulted in simplification of the codebase rather than code bloat :-)
+On the flight back to Europe, I spent some time hacking on [[GeekiGeeki]] to add goodies such as
+
+ * a grid view for photos
+ * automatic generation of human-readable link tags from wiki URLs
+ * a common parser for argument lists such as "foo|bar=1|baz=3"
+ * the ability to specify css style for links and inline objects, which you can use to create thumbnails floating on the right or left
+
+These should make the wiki markup much lighter.  As usual, these additions resulted in
+simplification of the codebase rather than code bloat :-)

 Pictures of our day-long [[Pictures/vacation/japan_2009/Nikko/waterfalls_tour]] are now online.
 Our friendly guide, the Buddhist monk whose name I forgot, answered many of our pending questions
 about Japanese traditions and religion.  Hiking through these sacred mountains and woods was an
 enjoyable experience.
